Opening his eyes, Chu Yan looked at his hand and saw a dull Dao Yuan Stone. He held it lightly and it shattered into powder.
"It's a pity that there is only one Daoyuan Stone. If there are more, we can break through to the top of the Immortal Rank and even hit the Immortal Lord." Chu Yan sighed, but he also knew that this was a bit forced.
After all, this small piece of inconspicuous Dao Yuan Stone contains a trace of holy meaning. If it is absorbed by a top Immortal Emperor, it will be enough to step out of the Holy Path and enter the Saint Emperor Realm. In his hands, unless it absorbs power, it will be useless.
That's the biggest waste.
In addition, after absorbing it, Chu Yan also vaguely understood that the so-called Dao Yuan Stone was mined from some heaven and earth mineral veins that were baptized by the sun and the moon and gave birth to all the power of the Dao.
"Brother Chu, you are out of seclusion." After a while, Xiao Xiang came over and saw the faint golden light flowing on Chu Yan's body. He said in surprise: "A breakthrough?"
Chu Yan smiled and shook his head: "Not yet, almost."
"That's pretty awesome. I heard Sister Xue say that it has only been a little over a year since Brother Chu came to Jiujiu, and he went from the first level to the eighth level of immortality. This is a terrible speed." Xiao Xiang said with envy: "I heard from Sister Xue.
However, there are some people with special meridians in this world. After becoming immortals, they will absorb the power of heaven and earth faster and make faster progress. Is Brother Chu like this?"
"no."
"Then how did Brother Chu do it?" Xiao Xiang asked in surprise.
"I used to be an Immortal Emperor, but now I am reborn as an Immortal Emperor, so naturally it will be faster." Chu Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Xiang looked stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Chu is really good at joking."
"Yeah." Chu Yan said nonchalantly.
"But Brother Chu, you are really powerful. You practice quickly and have solid skills. You are the strongest person in the Immortal Realm I have ever seen." Xiao Xiang flattered you.
"How many immortal places have you seen?"
"Including Sister Xue, there are two of them." Xiao Xiang smiled playfully and stuck out her tongue.
"..."
Chu Yan rubbed his eyebrows, this little goblin.
After pondering, Chu Yan asked: "By the way, Xiao Xiang, do you know any other way to get the Daoyuan Stone?"
"Brother Chu still needs the Dao Yuan Stone?" Xiao Xiang frowned slightly, a little confused: "Actually, the Dao Yuan Stone is precious in Zifeng City, but it is also a kind of currency. A thousand high-grade immortal stones can be exchanged for one.
Yes, why don't you wait a moment and I'll ask Sister Xue, there should be enough in the family to exchange for one or two pieces. At worst, I'll eat less this year."
With that said, Xiao Xiang turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Chu Yan, who said with a wry smile: "No, although your brother Chu is a little poorer, it won't make Xiao Xiang hungry. Since it is currency, it is not bad."
Easy to handle, Xiaoxiang, is there any place to make money in Zifeng City?"
"If I want to make money, let me think about it..." Xiao Xiang thought about it and suddenly said: "Actually, there are quite a few, including military workshops, medicine shops, and alchemy shops, all of which are quite profitable."
"Is there anything more direct?" Chu Yan asked. These places are ordinary trading markets. Although they can make money, they are too insignificant for him today.
"Is it a place where you can make money quickly? I thought about it, yes, Shura Terrace, this is fast, and you can make a lot of money." After Xiao Xiang said this, his face suddenly changed, and he shook his head: "No, this place is too dangerous.
, Brother Chu, it’s better not to go.”
"Xiao Xiang, what is this Shura Platform?"
"Brother Chu, you can't go to this place..."
"I'm not going, so I'm just asking around." Seeing Xiao Xiang's nervous look, Chu Yan smiled bitterly. Xiao Xiang pondered and explained: "Actually, the Shura Platform is an underground arena where challenges of various realms are held. If you win,
There is a bounty, and in addition, it will also open a handicap, allowing many people to place bets. It is the fastest place to make money in Zifeng City."
"Underground arena?" Chu Yan suddenly realized that this place is very suitable for him now. Then he pondered for a while and asked: "Then this underground arena should be very rich. Aren't they afraid that others will cause trouble for them? And once the contestants win,
Will there be no retaliation?"
"Brother Chu is overly worried. The Shura Platform does not belong to the Purple Maple City. It belongs to many royal cities. It is said that the background is so big that even the Zi Mansion does not dare to provoke it. There was once a deputy general who made trouble in the underground arena. The next day,
That person disappeared out of thin air, and all the contestants concealed their identities." Xiao Xiang said, looking around for fear of being overheard. Chu Yan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"If you can hide your identity and don't have to worry about retaliation, then it's no problem." Chu Yan nodded and wrote it down secretly.
——
Purple Maple City, Shura Terrace.
This so-called underground arena is really built underground. There is a huge underground hole in the center of Zifeng City that leads here.
In Shura Terrace, there are hundreds of thousands of competitions held every day, from all realms. In addition to those who come here to compete in the ring, there are also many gamblers here, including some families, who even train dead warriors to come here to participate in the ring.
, to seek benefits for the family.
Of course, nine out of ten gamblers lose, and most of them actually lose money. How many people can actually win money?
Today, the handicap has been opened, there is a sea of people, and there are more than a dozen arenas in the center that are in progress at the same time, all of which have reinforced the Immortal Emperor barrier.
At this time, Chu Yan also came to this place. He glanced at it from the corner of his eye and saw that it was densely packed with human heads: "There are so many people."
When he first came here, Chu Yan was not in a hurry to participate, but found a corner to watch first. Although more than a dozen arenas were going on at the same time, his spiritual power was so strong that he could see them all at a glance.
Soon, the winner was decided on an arena. The people above were fighting against two strong men of the ninth level. One of them was good at fire, and the other was good at gold. Logically speaking, real gold is not afraid of fire, and its metallic properties
The strong one has a greater chance of winning.
Chu Yan glanced at the two-person handicap. Indeed, there were more people who pressed the metal and won, a full ratio of 1 to 5.
The next second, Chu Yan walked down the steps and came to the handicap. Because only the best fairy stones were allowed for betting here, he put all the remaining one hundred yuan on the person with the fire attribute.
The person next to him frowned when he saw this scene: "Little brother, are you sure you want to suppress him?"
"Of course." Chu Yan smiled and nodded.
"Idiot." Another person snorted coldly: "That metal strong person can completely understand the fire attribute. The winner is about to be decided. Are you here to deliberately give the fairy stone?"
"For entertainment, besides, if the fire attribute wins, won't you win more?" Chu Yan smiled nonchalantly. Although this person was a bit too talkative, he had good intentions.
After betting, Chu Yan raised his head and continued to watch the battle.
For a moment, a terrifying high temperature suddenly ignited in the Shura Platform, and even some stone pillars made of metal were melted, making everyone stunned.
"What's going on?"
"It's Heavenly Fire! That fire-attributed immortal has Heavenly Fire."
"Damn! I'm so frustrated!" The next moment, someone yelled, including the man who persuaded Chu Yan. They had all bet a lot on a strong metal person, but if the fire was born, that person would definitely lose.
Sure enough, after three moves, the metallic armor turned into blood and was defeated, and his body was burned and rotted.
"You win!" The man sighed, but didn't care.
"Yeah, you're lucky." Chu Yan smiled and took off the four hundred immortal stones. Then his eyes of the world started to move and he continued to wander around Shura Terrace. If he occasionally took action, he would definitely win. In the blink of an eye, his immortal stones were from
One hundred yuan turned into seven thousand yuan. Many people became jealous after seeing this kind of profit.
"Little brother, your eyesight is good." At this time, someone said with envy: "You have gained so much."
"Luck, luck." Chu Yan smiled casually and didn't care. He continued to watch the battle and came to a ring. The two people fighting on the stage were codenamed: Dragon King and Tiansha.
The Dragon King uses a sword, while the Tiansha uses a spear.
The Eye of the Great World was operating, and Chu Yan could see the flaws on both sides at a glance.
In his opinion, this battle will be lost.
However, this time Chu Yan lost.
The two fought against each other. After seventeen moves, the Dragon King showed his flaw and was pierced through the chest by Tiansha with his spear. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was defeated.
Seeing this scene, a person next to him who knew Chu Yan laughed and said: "I was scared to death. I thought that little brother could only win and not lose."
"Since it's a bet, there's no absolute certainty of winning or losing." Chu Yan laughed at himself and said this, but when he looked up at the battle stage, there was a deep look on his face.
It seems that this Shura Platform is much more complicated than imagined.
The eyes of the big world can see through all illusions. In the battle just now, he clearly saw that the Dragon King had three chances to kill the opponent, but the Dragon King did not take action, and instead deliberately left a flaw for the opponent.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Sure enough, he was naive. He opened a gambling shop and would he always let himself win?
It seems like it won’t work if I don’t go on stage.
